The Databay Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a single Phase Dual Input rack mountable Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
When Input A falls below 168 VAC and Input B is valid, the output is automatically transferred to Input B. The output is transferred back to Input A when Input A is valid and rises above 178 VAC.
This high speed transfer rate ensures that the transfer is transparent to the sensitive equipment. The two sources are not required to be in phase. This is an effective solution that builds in redundancy and increases the AC power availability of connected equipment.
If the dual input power is fed through two independent AC sources, then the system availability is increased and the dual input advantages are fully used.
The ATS provides 12 receptacles that distribute redundant AC power and may be rack mounted. There are four groups of three IEC-320 (10A) receptacles, where each group is backed up by a 10A magnetic circuit breaker.
The ATS has two attached line cords that are terminated with NEMA L6-30 plugs with a 20A fuse for each. The total load for the ATS cannot exceed 24A of AC load at 200-240 VAC. Also the load for each of the four groups cannot exceed 10A or the internal breaker may trip or the fuse will blow.
The load must be balanced among the four segments such that the total current draw per section does not exceed 10A and a total of 24A for all the four segments of the units. This product provides line-to-line surge protection of 500 Joules.
